The fine knit of this summery sweater shows a beautiful melange look. This is not least due to the material composition: 70 percent skin-friendly cotton and 30 percent cooling linen. Added to this is a sculptural knitted pattern. Fine ribbed knit cuffs, combined with rolled hems, form the finish at the neck, sleeves and torso, which rounds off the casual look of the slightly transparent sweater.

Long ago, dockworkers in Genoa wore work clothes made of a strong cotton fabric dyed with indigo. Since Genoa belonged to France at the time, this went by the French name "Bleu de Gênes", which in English-speaking countries became "Blue Jeans". Against the backdrop of this history, the Blue de Gênes label was launched in Kolding, Denmark, in 2010. But Ole Madsen, the mastermind behind it, has long since gone beyond jeans. He manufactures authentic clothing from selected materials, whose timeless design literally endures the years. Production takes place almost exclusively in Europe, with Blue de Gênes working with small, family-run businesses that are each specialists in their field. Thus, the jeans come from northern Italy, some pants from Turkey and the shirts from Portugal.
